AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of several archaeological sites in the Forestdale Valley region of East-Central Arizona which it was hoped would throw light on the initial village dwellers of the area whose remains were preserved in the Bear Ruin and the Bluff Site, spanning roughly the time from AD 200 to 700. The significance of those findings centered on the fact that the people were members of the Mogollon culture closely bordering the southern threshold of the cultural domain of the Anasazi. This report reviews the findings from these sites, in conjunction with data from other sites in the area to build a succession of cultural stages upward in time from AD 700 to the historic present. In addition, this study draws attention to that moment in Southwestern prehistory when two readily identifiable cultural streams, Mogollon and Anasazi, coalesced to produce a blend that has both vexed and, in some measure, clarified the thinking of archaeologist concerned with cultural processes (p. 3).
